froodleIt's here, it's here, it's fucking here! Six days after Play emailed me to let me know it had been dispatched, I now hold in my hands the deliciously molesterable Rollo Weeks a copy of the Thief Lord movie. YES! Hot underage boylove is mine in both fullscreen and widescreen formats. Sadly, the deleted scenes failed to include a Scipio/Prosper snogfest, but I don't care, because I know it happened and that's all that matters.
I was wondering how they were going to handle the after-effects of the roundabout, and I gotta say, that thing with using the original actors voices as their child-selves was just retarded. Especially Barbarossa - even leaving aside the fact that that kid looked like the Anti-Christ (and not a cute Anti-Christ like Adam Young or Damien in the first two Omen movies), that voice would have made any sane person run for the hills. But then again, the movie!Esther and Max were fucking psychotic, so it's probably a fair match.
Speaking of Adam Young, Jasper Harris? Bang on the money. If they ever get around to making Good Omens into a film, dear God, let him be cast. He's such a cutie; that whole "You forgot something important; it's under my jumper... it's me!" made me want to hug him and feed him sugar cookies and let him play with William Bullock in the land of Kids Who Are Just Too Damn Cute For My Black Heart To Withstand. They can throw rocks at Jake Lloyd and that stupid kid from the BSG mini-series from where they sit in the ajoining land of Kids I Hate And Should Be Thrown Out Of Airlocks After Being Eaten By A Fucking Annoying Robodog. What the hell was going on with Bo hallucinating about those animals, though? Uh, Prop, I think someone's been slipping your kid brother LSD on the sly...
For some reason, Vanessa Redgrave - who is in the film for like, twenty seconds - is the only cast member named on the back of the case, presumably because it's better than writing "starring that dude who was in the Scarlet Pimpernel and a bunch of Hornblower alumni that you've probably never heard of unless you're a total nerd who whores for Jamie Bamber in breeches". But seriously, what the hell? Why not just write "cast of rising young stars", because I guaran-fucking-tee, we'll be hearing from Rollo Weeks againwhen I kidnap him for my own depraved purposes and his parents start a campaign to rescue their poor, sweet child from my clutches.
More to come later on meeting John Connolly, the second season of Deadwood, and why Dan Dority needs to marry me like right the hell now.

Date: 2006-03-16 01:36 pm (UTC)Why, thanks! I knew you'd understand :)
Oh dear. The Bad!Fic of Doom. I so want to read that. But Victor would love it in the end it and make a confused Scip run after Prop just like Bridget does after Mark in the end of the first BJD movie, only through a Venetian snow storm. In his pj's. With his converse on. And they'd kiss in the snow, and Prop would totally wrap his cuderoy jacket round Scip.
He's already a wonderful character in the book, and I think they made him just as adorable in the movie. Such a perfect cast! And the tortoises! &hearts And yeah, I love him being snappy to those evil people and being the best adult friend I can imagine and... Aww, Victor. Love him so much. And him and Ida are major l.o.v.e. Just perfect. Ida's such a neo-hippie anyway :D
He's like "Come on, my pretty boy... Accompany me to my dark and secret lair, my friends will take care of your brother while I show you the VIP area..."

He's already a wonderful character in the book, and I think they made him just as adorable in the movie.
I lovew the fact that he actually carries around an array of fake moustaches inside his jacket, too.
Ida's such a neo-hippie anyway :D
She totally is.
He's like "Come on, my pretty boy... Accompany me to my dark and secret lair, my friends will take care of your brother"
Heh, I can so picture that. "Hey Hornet, take care of this random little kid I found while I go off and seduce his hot older brother... I mean... steal... stuff..."
While I show you the VIP area..."
To paraphrase Malcolm Reynolds, "This wouldn't happen to be in someone's pants, would it?"

You're right. Damn.
Ack, I can't get Prop's Diary out of my head *LOL*
And Ida's reaction to his, uhm, totally different looks *LOL*
*LMAO*
*snorts* And to think that in the beginning I was very ambivalent about slashing such young boys... Must. Not. Write. Pr0n.

Date: 2006-03-19 01:10 am (UTC)*giggles* It would be the best thing EVER. Wallets stolen: zero. Times the urge to smack Bo has been supressed: 2. Longing homoerotic looks exchanged with Our Fearless Leader: 37.
And to think that in the beginning I was very ambivalent about slashing such young boys...
Ah yes, I remember having such scruples... luckily an Irish Catholic upbringing and the second season of Digimon cured me completely of any inhibitions I might have once had when it came to the combination of young boys and hot sex. Plus, movie"scip and Prosper are like, fifteen/sixteen, so it's practically legal anyway.
Must. Not. Write. Pr0n.
Write it. Wriiite it. Liam Neeson would want you to.
